In comparing year over year longer term data for Westboro Massachusetts, the average list price and sale price both went down year over year from January to December. This can be attributed to the on going weakness in the real estate market in Metrowest MA. There was however a decrease in the days on the market for the same period in Westboro MA. This is indictive of sellers becoming more realistic in pricing their homes properly. The number of sales so far year to date is down substantially from last year.

These statistics are similar to many of the towns in Metrowest MAMost of the surrounding towns experienced a decrease in the average list price and sale price for the January to December time frame.

Bill, that's quite a drop in sold price for 2008 vs 2007. Are these comparative homes and square footage? Are they bank owned homes or has this economy and prices of homes in Westboro gone down that much in 1 year?

OMG- Bill, quite a drop in prices there!  I assume that REO's contributed to that drop?

Bill -- I know MA had quite a price drop from ;07 to '08, but we had quite a fast run up in prices too!  Compared to the rest of the country, I don't think it is too bad!  What is your opinion?

Joan I guess it all depends on when you bought your home. If you bought in the last few years you are sitting on a large loss.

Bill - you have really motivated me to work on my market reports. We're down about 10% also but since our aveage sales price is so much smaller the numbers don't look as dramatic!

Bill Even with the 10 percent drop in sale price your area is still in a better shape than others.  I am sure those sellers were happy to get offers even with that reduction.
